    This reminds me of a joke:

    A man received the following text from his neighbor:

    “I am so sorry Charlie. I’ve been riddled with guilt and I have to confess. I have been tapping your wife, day and night when you’re not around. In fact, more than you. I’m not getting any at home, but that’s no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won’t happen again.”

    The man, anguished and betrayed, immediately went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her.

    A few moments later, a second text came in: “Damn auto-correct. I meant ‘Wi-Fi’ not ‘wife’.”

    If I remember, it comes from the son of the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk. He asked, ‘Daddy why ’Fi’?’

    The CSIRO, who being Australian spectacularly failed to capitalise on it.

    The name is a pun, based off of “Hi-Fi” which was the nickname given to the new “High fidelity” sound equipment back in the ’60s.

    He’s right: it won’t be.

    The explanation for “wi-fi” is actually pretty ridiculous. It rhymes with “hi-fi,” you see. High Fidelity led to Wireless Fi.
